             Summary: RuntimeException when parsing word (.doc) documents. Works in Tika 1.4
                 Key: TIKA-1251
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1251
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: parser
    Affects Versions: 1.5
         Environment: Linux andern 3.10.25-gentoo #3 SMP Tue Feb 25 07:35:57 CET 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3740QM CPU @ 2.70GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Oracle JDK 1.7.0.51 [oracle-jdk-bin-1.7] and IcedTea JDK 6.1.12.7 [icedtea-bin-6]. Both fail
            Reporter: Andreas
            Priority: Critical


Parsing the attached document works in Tika 1.4, but not in Tika 1.5. See output below. However, using Tika 1.4 is not a proper temporary solution as it leaves tons of special characters and functions in the output. See my post on SO: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21929040
